ᵉⁿᵍˡⁱˢʰ Pour Some Sugar on Me [Bullet Train]

A buzz made Alex look from the window and the passing buildings to her phone. A message from Constant. A photo, but not one she had hoped for, because the picture was blurry and showed the person from a distance. If she had to guess, she would have said it was taken with one of the first camera phones, at least, it seemed that way to her, or simply, with a bad camera.

No one knew who the wasp was. Some said it was a man, others believed it was a woman. According to the rumors, the wasp didn't even have to be a single person, some were sure there were several.

But aside from all this, all these rumors, what people believed and didn't believe, one thing was certain, and that was that the wasp was on that train. Why? Constant did not know with certainty. Yes, because of a murder, this was certain. The victim, on the other hand, was not.

"Darling," Tangerine intercepted Alex as he walked around, put his hands on her waist and pushed her toward the wall of the anteroom, where he stepped close to her, "you can do something for me."

"Honey, Rio doesn't mean anything," Alex grinned broadly and tilted her head to the left, "Especially since.... Michael, Jonathan, Damien.... um, what's your name again?"

"See, you're a Charlie. Didn't Rio show and prove once again, Lemon's people skills," Tangerine countered, closing his hand around Alex's neck and pressing a fleeting kiss to her lips, "If you see a silver briefcase with a sticker of a lemon, let me know."

"But also only if you keep your eyes open for me," Alex countered, watching Tangerine look down the hall to her right and then back up at her, "I'll send you the photo. Are you going to let me go now, or?"

"See you around." was heard instead from Tangerine, who kissed Alex goodbye again, this time, a little longer, more intensely, and took his hand down afterwards.

No Charlie. She was no Charlie.
